ConnectFest 2025 was nothing short of extraordinary! Our community showed up with joy, authenticity, and unstoppable energy—turning the Northshore into a vibrant celebration of visibility, inclusivity, and hope.

From the moment the festival opened, the grounds were alive with music, laughter, and colorful expression. Families, friends, advocates, and allies gathered to honor what Connect Northshore stands for: creating safe, affirming spaces where everyone can be seen, celebrated, and supported.

Our resource partners provided vital information and services,  and vendors brought the heart of our community to life. The  youth activities, and community conversations reinforced why ConnectFest matters—because connection is powerful, healing, and necessary.

Most importantly, ConnectFest 2025 reminded us that the Northshore is stronger when we stand together. Your presence, support, and spirit helped create a day filled with love, learning, empowerment, and pride.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, or shared the day with us.
Because of you, ConnectFest continues to grow—and our community continues to thrive.

Here’s to 2026… we’re just getting started. 🌈✨
